Port Mirroring
The Port Mirroring function can be used to monitor data being transmitted through a specific port. This is
done by setting up other port(s) (the mirror port) to receive the same data being transmitted from, or both
to and from, the port under observation. Using a mirror port allows the network administrator to sniff the
observed port to keep tabs on network activity.
Port Mirror Settings
There are two types of port mirror function, depending on the series you are using.
